@jrballesteros05 Im sorry for your loss. I went through it in 2019 and I know how you feel. Your optimism in the face of a terrible experience is an inspiration for me. Hope 2021 treats you better.
@dajbelshaw @keverets @RussSharek Im sure daniel would be more than happy to see an issue open with a suggested sentence that explains XMPP in simpler - more layman terms =)
@ancommie @colinl @dajbelshaw @keverets @RussSharek Not sure what you mean by "But the thing is, why should I put my trust into an admin that i heard has the ability to read my password in clear text and to modify messages?" Do you have a source for that?
re: Not a crypto expert so take this with a grain of salt and do your own research
@colinl @RussSharek @ancommie @dajbelshaw @keverets You should be using a password generator anyways to protect against the admin storing your password badly (ie. in plain text).

@colinl @ancommie @dajbelshaw @keverets @RussSharek Ya, thats a pretty fair understanding. OMEMO also has forward secrecy. So even if your future keys are compromised, your past messages wont be compromised.
The admin of the server wont be able to read your messages but will have access to metadata (which is often just as important as the message).

@rebel_luddite You also remove code for features you dont need. ie. I can remove translation support since I only use english. You can completely disable features you dont like. For example, I hate dbus and I just disable it globally for all packages in my make.conf.
Also, you get to choose everything. So if you have a very particular setup you want, it's always possible with gentoo.
I use binary distros on weaker hardware but always miss my gentoo setup

@edel I am a software freedom extremist but even I have a hard time letting go of video games. I have gotten my friends and family to switch to free software communication platforms though.
@resynth1943 @ChampagneSupernovaX Thank you for reminding me about this. I think I might use qutebrowser with the new adblock addon and just stop worrying about it.
Bookmarking for when I eventually start searching for the "perfect browser" again.

@ChampagneSupernovaX @resynth1943 I have been using gnu icecat. It started being very out of date. It's starting to get updates again. Firefox hardened with custom user.js was ok but the usability is terrible. How are the other browsers? Which one do you recommend?
Id like to use smaller browsers but Im worried that they dont get the security updates that major browsers (chromium or firefox) get.
I hate how all browsers are basically spyware.

@govynnus Alpine is a great distro but its documentation is definitely lacking. Thanks for updating!
@govynnus I had the same issue. Some distros DONT use crypttab. See gentoo's wiki:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Dm-crypt#Automate_mounting_encrypted_file_systems
So edit /etc/conf.d/dmcrypt and enable the dmcrypt service on boot.
